a sporadic self-chronicle since 2001

Up and off to brunch at Country Boy with Ryan, Joe, Dennis and Alison. The three of us who had slept at my place got there first and got in the big line. We had been waiting for maybe two minutes when some employee stuck his head out the door and asked if there were any groups of five or more. We said we were and he told us to come with him, bypassing the entire line and seating us immediately. Awesome!

While we waited for Alison and Dennis to arrive, the server took our drink orders. When I ordered tomato juice, a Coke and water, the first words out of our servers mouth were, “Are you hung over?”

Dennis and Alison showed up, carrying a giant Care Bears gift bag:

Like, seriously huge. Inside it was a brand new, silver, Slim PS2 for me. How awesome is that?! The group of them had gone in together to get it for me - totally cool!

So we had our breakfast, went to Best Buy to browse through things and then came back and hung out here for a bit.

Joe and Ryan had to head back to the GTA before the rental car was due back so they took off just before 5pm, which is about when Laura showed up with pizza for our dinner. Delicious!

We hung out for a bit here and then Dennis and Alison came and grabbed me to go see ‘Transformers.’ Laura didn’t come because she started work at 6:30am today, starts again at that time tomorrow and couldn’t manage the late show without dying of a lack of sleep.

We got tickets and while Dennis and Alison waited in the line to enter the theatre, I waited outside to meet up with people. I had originally invited a number of people and then Darren, who has a million friends, invited everyone he knew. So I met up with his group outside and waited for my work friends (Jamie, Sarah and Alex). Meanwhile, Dennis and Alison got into the theatre and saved six seats for our little group. When Dennis sent me a txt saying that the theatre was filling up and it was getting tough to hold our seats, Jamie had just arrived so I let Darren and Robyn know we were heading in and we sat down in the great seats Dennis and Alison had saved for us.

Darren’s big group came in 10 minutes later had had to sit in those crappy three rows right up at the front. I felt bad for them, but the whole place filled up really fast and it would have been impossible for only two people to save a whole row. Ah well.

Anyway, the movie itself was pretty awesome. I mean, it was an action movie with big, giant robots so it had to be cool. But it was really well done. I don’t know if they could have possibly done it better. There were some stupid and silly parts that I could have done without, but I’d still recommend the movie. Definitely very cool to see live-action Transformers.

It’s probably Japanese.
